Peter's Interrogation Proves Too Much For Distinction Student | Dragons’ Den

Corien is seeking a £75,000 investment in return for a 10% equity stake but the Dragons are not going to just hand their money out. An extraordinary turn of events occur throughout Corien Staels' time in the Den, she's accompanied by Brand Ambassador and Paralympian, Michael Kerr. Corien's pitching 'WheelAir' - is a wheelchair cushion that uses Microclimate technology to keep the wheelchair user cool and comfortable.
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

These things are ridiculously expensive in North America, even in Canada but luckily our healthcare covers the vast majority. I think she took the wrong choice as the connections for the other two would have allowed for massively reduced production costs, meaning you could drown the market with a highly desirable at very low cost to consumers. A smaller profit margin and fractional cost would mean massive turnover for even or higher net profits to reinvest, and even acquire new products to send to market on the same platform

[@sitnspin1819]

@@xanderwusky3001 As I'm in a wheelchair, and have been for 30 of my 40 years, yes. I'm well aware of what extortion means. Many companies that sell equipment to people like me mark their prices far higher than they should. She even said herself. A lower price would put her credibility into question, and yet half a grand is deemed affordable. No. No, it isn't. It seems affordable since poorly built wheelchairs can cost upwards of £5,000. £550, or whatever her price is, sounds very reasonable at 10% of the cost of a basic power wheelchair.

I’m a medical device entrepreneur and it’s a lucrative market and I understand their interest. You need to know many top doctors across the globe, get an FDA, CE, and patents, patents, patents!
